Nu-Class Attack Shuttle

Designed to supplement, but not replace, the LAAT/i Gunship, Nu-Class Attack Shuttle from Cygnus Spaceworks combines much of the design aesthetic of the LAAT/i with contemporary shuttle design. The end result is a Starship that functions as both a troop transport and an infantry support Vehicle. Capable of undertaking longer-range missions then the LAAT/i and faster as well, the Nu-Class Attack Shuttle has thicker armor and heavier shielding than atmospheric vessels, allowing it to survive passage through ship-to-ship engagements and still deliver its cargo- whether material or troops- into a war zone. Many Nu-Class Attack Shuttles also serve as the personal transports for republic military commanders (Such as the Jedi Generals) during the Clone Wars, ferrying them from Capital Ships to planetary battlefields quickly and safely.
